Sailor being investigated for arson on U.S. warship that caught fire, official says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A United States Navy sailor is under investigation for possible arson aboard a warship that caught fire last month and injured dozens of people, a U.S. defense official told Reuters on Wednesday.

More than 60 people, including about 40 sailors, were treated for minor injuries during the four days of firefighting from land, air and sea when the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard caught fire while it was docked in San Diego.

The Bonhomme Richard, whose size ranks second in the U.S. Navy fleet to that of an aircraft carrier, sustained severe damage from the flames, leaving the ship listing to the starboard side, its superstructure collapsed and melted.

The defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that Navy and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) officials were investigating a sailor, who was being questioned.

No one has been charged or arrested so far, the official added.

The Navy declined to comment on an ongoing investigation.

"We have nothing to announce at this time," a Navy statement said.

Strange criminal activity, shrouded in secrecy by DoD. Could there possibly be something we're not supposed to know ?

#2 ...Word from the Herd is:

*They've had video of someone from the beginning.
*NIS is dotting every I and crossing every T. Their inability to actually prosecute anyone with any competence is coming back to haunt them, and they have been taking their time.

We'll see.

#4 /\ Doubtful 3dc. I suspect another entitlement group is involved, one that DoD now enthusiastically embraces. Just a guess.

#8 The biggest reason why the US is still the preeminent power in the world is the Navy, its control of the seas and its guarantee of passage and trade.

Based on the what's been happening the last few years, there's a massive cleanup job that needs to be done in the service.
